LEWIS C. DALE
---Lewis C. Dale was born November 2, 1835 in Macon County, Missouri, he died September 21, 1917 at the age of eighty-one years, ten months and nineteen days at the home of George and Meta Frank near Elmer.
---He was married to Sarah M. McDavitt September 9, 1865. To them were born nine children, four of whom have passed away. Those living are Mrs. Meta Franks, T.W. Dale, Mrs. Kate Stanley, Lee Dale and Lewis Dale. There are seventeen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. His wife passed away December 29, 1915.
---Six years ago Uncle Lewis was stricken with paralysis, greatly impairing his speech. Last fall he went to the home of Leo and Louis Dale in the northwest and remained with his sons until September 16, just a few days before he died, apparently in good health. His death was sudden, caused by cerebral hemorrhage, and was a great shock to Mr. and Mrs. Frank where he had made his home.
---The funeral was conducted in Elmer at the Universalist church Sunday, by the pastor, and at the grave, by the Masonic Lodge of La Plata which sent a large number of its members to honor their comrade and to say the last words of love and respect for their translated brother.
---What memories crowd the mind a veteran citizen like Uncle Lewis passes to the great beyond. All can not be said of him which love and friendship would like to say. Bur he was born with a sunny disposition he had a generous heart, he was a friend to all and he exhibited the fine, noble qualities of a husband, father and neighbor. He had been a practical and trusted citizen all his life and an honored universalist more than half a century. In the days of struggling, he and his wife always went to church, taking their large family with them one mile, five or ten, whenever services were held. He proved himself true when, in later years, the shadows of affliction, bereavement and infirmity fell upon him. Loved by all of his children and kindred, his daughter, Mrs. Frank, became a mother to him in his declining years.
